Conversations among Colleagues

Title: Discussion about weekly TA meetings

Date: 04/10/2017

Time: 4:10 PM - 5:00 PM

Place: C109 Wells Hall

Speaker: CIM and Course Coordinators, MSU

Large course meetings have been inefficient in the past, especially when meetings focus on delivering updates about course administration and policies that are effectively communicated via email. Instead, TAs need an opportunity to discuss their teaching in a smaller group where they can get feedback and guidance about their specific issues. We are working to design a structure that will require less time from course supervisors and lecturers than weekly course meetings by having our Lead TAs run smaller meetings that are more focused on preparing lessons and developing teaching strategies.
